Unstoppable Progress!

School's done for the semester! Whats next? The possibilities are endless. As they always are. On the fitness front, I've set some goals for myself and am about to write up a plan to achieve these goals. For now, the goal over the next 3 months is to gain about 5-10 pounds of quality muscle while keeping my conditioning. This I believe is a reasonable target, as I tend to add muscle easily.
To achieve these goals, I've written up a training, diet and supplementation program for myself.

1. Training: I will continue with a 4 day per week split, training the whole body thrice a week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays I'll train in the 12-15 repetition range and Saturdays will be heavy workout day with 6 rep sets.

So, training will be:

Monday: Lower Body(high rep)
Tuesday:Upper Body(high rep)
Thursday: Whole Body(high rep)
Saturday: Whole Body(low rep)

Low intensity cardio in the mornings and cardio post workout(depending on energy level)

2. Diet:
Carb Cycling. However, my low carb days will have about 100 gms carbs because I'm trying to add some muscle.

Monday - Thursday Evening:- 100 gm carbs, 200 gms protein and whatever fat naturally is in food.
Thursday Evening(post workout) :- Saturday Morning:- 600 gms carbs, 400 gms protein and keep fat low.
Saturday PostWorkout - Sunday Night :- Maintenance level eating, 200 gms carbs and 200 gms protein basically.

3. Supplementation:

I'm going to be adding a new product to my supplement stack.

NO-Explode:- I'm picking NO-Explode because it contains:
1. Arginine and other compounds to improve pumps and ATP levels in the gym.
2. Creatine - Ive already written quite a bit about the benefits of creatine.
3. Caffine, and some useful Amino acids like L-Tyrosine and Taurine.
4. Electrolyte Replacers.

All this makes NO-Explode an ideal product to rely on for my summer lean muscle gain goals. I will be using 1 serving on all days of the week.


Apart from NO-Explode, I'll be using my regular supplement stack of:

1. Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Cookies & Cream

2. Now Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid

3. Fish Oil

4. VPX Redline

Its a solid program, with all bases covered. My progress is inevitable and unstoppable!
